Receive SMS online for Yik Yak verification – Virtual Number for SMS Verification
Yik Yak is an anonymous, local feed. Open it and you see posts, called yaks, from people within about five miles, with no names attached; you vote them up or down and reply in the same anonymous style. That radius makes it a campus and neighbourhood board rather than a global network. It launched in 2013, spread across US colleges, shut down in 2017, and came back in 2021 under new owners.
The relaunch added what the team calls community guardrails: automatic removal and bans for bullying, hate speech, threats, and posting someone's private information. Coverage through 2026 keeps circling the same question, whether anonymous speech on a campus can sit alongside those rules, and the app has kept tightening moderation in response.
With no profile to lean on, the app uses a few signals to hold the line: enough downvotes hide a post, and repeat offenders lose access. Every yak is tied to a location, so a post only reaches the herd it was written in. Location is read at post time rather than tracked in the background, so the app does not follow a user between yaks.
With no username, the phone number is the account. Yik Yak confirms it by SMS at sign-up, and it stays as the one thread back to a real line. A Yakarma score tracks the upvotes an account has earned, and older yaks roll off the feed as new ones arrive, so a herd's board shows the last day or two rather than a full history. Someone who would rather that thread not lead back to their main line can register with an additional virtual number and read the SMS in a 5SIM order.
